Spring of Knowledge

Community library at the 59th street / Columbus Circle subway station in NYC. The library is composed of two different areas: library A and B. Library A is designed under the street which is a corridor between tenant spaces. It is designed as a multi-use space not only for reading, but also for exhibition, lectures, and as a lounge, etc. Library B is a small building which is designed as a hub station for the area, where people obtain information, take rests, meditate, like a cafe library. Water path is the main element which represents the stream of knowledge, and invites people to the library. www.tomokomori.com
